DM 2020-2021 was just about normal...a bit above NNE. DM 2017-2018 was normal to slightly below.
-
31.5 again last night....visible frost...already been several.
-
Doubt that.

I just mean that the second half was lame. Obviously the ones that hang on well into January are the real winners. I think the key is get a PNA to take a handoff from the NAO, and/or a combo of really favorable EPO ridge/good timing.
-
1984 is another notable exception...
-
Most la nina seasons do...even 2010-2011 did. Same with 2008-2009. The 1996, 2001 and 2018's are tough to come by.

I would happily sign up for that winter where I am...probably pulled like 85" with a near 30" pack in December.

Part of me is glad you're not god, yet part of me wants you anointed ASAP. Hopefully this trend keeps up into winter, like Will said. You would think that something has to give with all of the water vapor in the air/very warm hemispheric SSTs coupled with how dry it was this past summer. There is so much latent energy both at the surface and in the atmosphere; lets light some damn matches-

He is very vague in his seasonal pieces....he just lays the pieces out and hedges, but never really issues a forecast.
-
Yea, LC is all about the STJ this year.
-
Honestly, after following him over the course of the past several years, he has been the best and its not close.
-
Analogs a great tool, but at the end of the day, a forecaster's intuition and instinct is often just as good with respect to seasonal forecasting.
-
Cosgrove is full steam ahead on your idea....active like '92-'93, '93-'94. My analogs keep it fairly dry, but I'm not sure I buy that due to all of the water vapor after that volcano.

You would like to think that a third consecutive crack at la nina will finally pay dividends here on the NH border, but at this point, who knows...
-
It was pretty historic up through Boston ....2' events in Boston proper do not grow on trees.
-
At least that arid stretch seems to be over.
-
There are the two key take aways.
-
People have arguments in each direction, like with everything else in weather.
-
At the end of the day, people are going to point to CC regardless of whether its boring, or it isn't.

This has got to be one of the lamest weather years that I have lived through. 9 months and counting of absolute bore, save for Ian, and the one signature event 9 months ago still bent me over. My god, you have to go back to the previous cane season outside of that.
-
2019 was an odd one...storm track was waaaaaay north...almost more like a la nina. It even sucked here.
-
Moderate are better south of NYC......less of a STJ and more N stream with weak ones.

I can't imagine how sickening it is to be just NW of a death band and get like 8" of sand, while 10mi se gets 3' of powder. Thankfully, that has never happened to me, but I have had the same sensible result a couple of times due to subby slots....12/05/2003 takes the cake, with 12" here, 28" in Woburn (8mi) and 38" in Peabody (10-12mi). PDII a close second with 12" and like 2'+ in Woburn. Last January was probably 3rd.
